I wonder how many Ipswich and Portsmouth fans have found Morrell’s missus on Instagram and bombarded her with messages.ValleyGary said:Reading the comments on that tweet is like reading this thread.4 -
Which I would guess is a 5 figure weekly salary, which in this division is just crazy moneyChris_from_Sidcup said:
Ipswich's CEO said he turned down championship clubs to go there. If that is true it means they're paying way above what we would've been prepared to pay.WhenIwasLittleBoy said:Kyle Edwards who we were rumoured to be considering has joined Ipswich.....something seems weird that we cant get these deals over the line.1 -
Reading between the lines on this Monday morning…Portsmouth need to sell Jacobs to fund their move for Morrell. Apparently they were reliant upon Jacobs completing a move to Ipswich.
Now Ipswich have realised Pompey need the cash first so have decided to stall the move for Jacobs. They’re trying to get Morrell in first, then go back for Jacobs afterwards. Having their cake and eating it.
Could we nip in and give Pompey the money they need for Jacobs? Think he’d be a decent wing option at this level.1 -
Can also be a recipe for unhappy squad.cafcfan1990 said:Ipswich have Fraser, Chaplin, Burns, Edwards, Aluko, Nolan, Pigott, Barry, Bonne and Norwood competing for 4 spots, unreal depth.3 -
More like George doors, than early doors. Another day of disappointment.
Yeah I know, plenty of window left etc2 -
This isnt meant in an envious way at all as I honestly would not want us to be doing mental business like Ipswich are doing. However the pension fund manager in the USA will need balls of steal when it comes to explaining to his stakeholders wtf is going on with their money lol
If I treated my SIPP like they are spunking money the SIPP management company would be pressing the alarm bells and rightly so lol4 -
Wouldn't be a bad shout Callum , although I also reckon there's some of the Adam Armstrong money from Blackburn probably heading Pompey's way for Ronan Curtis .Callumcafc said:Reading between the lines on this Monday morning…Portsmouth need to sell Jacobs to fund their move for Morrell.

When I hear Gallen claim he is rushed off his feet it sets alarm bells ringing. In my working life have met loads of people who claim to be rushed off their feet but never really produce much. Much better the quiet ones who just get on with it.4

It's not crazy if you get promoted and they are good enough to keep you up next season or you can sell one of them at the end of the season to cover the excess loss.. What would be crazy if they don't up then buy another team on those wages.Rothko said:

What is crazy is paying a whole team about 5 or 6k a week and aiming to only lose 10 million quid and have no chance of going up AND not signing any players with a serious resale value.
The later will fail 9/10 it's called "doing a Roland".3 -

If Ipswich aren't flying in a few months time Cook will be gone as after their outlay they can't afford to not go up.1
-
Reckon Paul Cook has a mole in the camps of Ipswich's chief rivals - let's them do all the research and then nips in with a better offer1

Strongly disagree. If it then becomes normal for several League 1 sides to pay 5 figure weekly wages to players, then that’s crazy! Way too much money to be spending in third division!Cafc43v3r said:

Frustrates me after the financial mess of many clubs in recent years, there’s still fans who want clubs to spend heavily to get promoted.1 -
If Frank Lampard's Derby had won the play offs it would not have been an issue. The big difference is there is no zero cost/loss option for us or Ipswich.AndyG said:

To be fair to poor old Steve Gallen, he is one of "the quiet ones who just get on with it".Killersgonad said:When I hear Gallen claim he is rushed off his feet it sets alarm bells ringing. In my working life have met loads of people who claim to be rushed off their feet but never really produce much. Much better the quiet ones who just get on with it.
The only time we hear from him is when someone in the Comms team forces him into a corner for an interview!

I’m guessing that Kirks agent is advising his man not to jump the gun and sign until all options are either on the table or off. If Sheffield Utd and or anyone else doesn’t move in the next week then we might be back on. Problem is can we afford to wait and risk getting no one.1

Or Ipswich went for Edwards ahead of Jacobs so they could also get Morrell got the reasons you've outlined.Callumcafc said:Reading between the lines on this Monday morning…Portsmouth need to sell Jacobs to fund their move for Morrell.

Unsettle a player at one of your rivals, then cancel the deal at the last minute to leave Pompey stuck with an unhappy player...

starting to sound as deluded as that prat who used to call me Richard Murray's beard on here - the info i had on saturday about the striker / winger comes from somebody who is probably next in line to know outside the 4 in the recruitment team and the info about henderson training friday and being lined up as our nr.2 comes direct from a player - neither of those sources would be making it up - i can't speak for other people's information.Dazzler21 said:Getting to the point now of thinking the club are releasing info to iron out leaks.

can confirm that a, how should i say it, to be totally PC - here goes anyway, lets hope ive got it right - ' a new black player was training with the team today' so ...11

But they didnt did they ? they lost and are now in serious shite. We have no idea but maybe TS has set a budget knowing what the losses are likely to be over the next 3/5 years and is willing to live with it. I expect Ipswich have no such plan, they seem to be taking a shit or bust view which is all well and good if you go up but not so good if you dont mateCafc43v3r said:

They have been talking about you on They don't post anymore thread4 -
Personally I can deal with youngsters coming through and accept the consequent results.
I would be nice to see the/an U23 fixture list out.
Can’t see one on the official site, I don’t know if those fixtures are sorted centrally, or done last minute game by game according to arrangements with each opponent.
I suspect there might be a list somewhere, if there is I urge the club to publish it straight away.2 -
